Search by Events custom data

[JohnFF]

If one wanted to upgrade Civi so that events could be searched by custom data, how would one do that?

I.e. would it be better to upgrade advanced search, or the events search functionality that there is presently?

Are there any plans to do this?

Are you sure that the event custom data fields are set as searchable? If not, they definitley won't show up.

I think advanced search is due for an overhall (at some unspecified point in the future) and, if i had to guess, i am not sure that their is much appetite for adding more stuff to it, since it inevitably breaks something when we do.

Probably not massively helpful answer but better than nothing
